Replication Agent transaction logs

Some Replication Agents cannot access the native transaction log of a primary database to acquire the information necessary to replicate transactions.

When a native transaction log cannot be used, the Replication Agent uses its own proprietary transaction log to capture and record transactions in the primary database for replication. Such a Replication Agent generates SQL scripts that run in the primary database to create the Replication Agent transaction log. See the Replication Agent Administration Guide Volume 1 for more information about the Replication Agent transaction log.
